Dwight Howard 4.3 Bosh 4.2 Ben Wallace 4.1 Dampier 4.1 Chandler 4.0 Okafor 4.0 Lee 3.8 Dampier is doing it in 26 minutes. Lee is doing it in 24 minutes. Of all the other guys Chander is at 30 minutes and the other 4 are over 35 minutes.
Lee is 2nd in the NBA in FG% behind Andris Biedrins (who's having a breakout year)
Lee is holding opposing PFs to an eFG% of 0.472 http://www.82games.com/0607/06NYK9C.HTM http://ultimateknicks.com/forum/topic.asp?t=18303 (scroll down and you will see thats a VERY impressive defensive number)
this was brought up in another thread but I think its worth mentioning that right now Lee is clearly the bright spot in this season.

John Daly once asked Tiger Woods why he practiced so much. Tiger's response was "if I had your talent I wouldnt have to."
Everyone's told Curry since he was 16 how great he is. He plays like he expects things to go his way, and doesnt understand why they dont.
Lee plays like everyone on the court is better then he is, and if he's going to be able to do anything he's got to run faster, react quicker and play harder than everyone else. I'm not saying thats what he thinks, but thats how he plays.
Now who's more talented? Lee or Curry?
Curry is maddening. He's got a 100mph fastball, but he's too fat to get up the dugout stairs

I read that story aout Tiger and Daly a while ago. You hit the nail right on the head. Unfortunately Marbuy and Francis have the same problem as Curry does.

Currys poor conditioning makes me sick. How hard is it for a guy with a private chef and pro level trainers NOT lose weight? And I dont care if every person in his genepool is fat, or if his thyroid doesnt exist, or whatever excuse fat people make for being fat (no offense to any heavyweights out there). How hard is it to eat fewer calories than he takes in? A guy that size is burning 3500 calories a day, easy. What the hell is this guy eating so that his ass looks like he should be in a rap video?

Curry could stand to lose a little more weight, but that being said he should be using the weight he has now to post and toast. Also why does Curry bring the ball down when he gets it ? He gets stripped everytime, Clyde says it all the time, you make your self 6ft when you bring the ball down.
i am willing to wait for Curry to develop (drinking the kool aid that he is only 23) but damm its unbearable at times. Cause he is so far off.

He brings the ball down because he needs to gather himself to get off the ground. Without momentum his vertical is probably a foot. Minus 30 pounds and he will much more mobile.

bringing the ball down is a high school move. Not something you can do in ncaa or nba. He brings it down to do the whole power dribble thing and then thinks he can dunk over everyone. someone needs to teach him to get the ball hold in the air, with elbows out. No one will reach in.
